Hopefully the RCAirC will still be retaining a full Air Cadet gliding capability in the face of Canadian defence cuts.
Note that although there are of course many similarities between the gliding programmes run in the UK and Canada, there are masses of differences in funding, structures and priorities.
Some initial confusing responses to the announcements in Canada so far include that this may result in an overall increase in power flying opportunities, may cause no loss in Canadian Air Cadet gliding hours being flown, or that the cuts in Canadian budgets will have no impact on their Cadets at all.
Hopefully this will have a reasonable outcome for our Canadian Cadet cousins- clearly a situation worth keeping an eye on.
